If you can't be a son-in-law, you have to be sanctified

Chapter 126
"Hey, miss, look, is that Mr. Lu?"

The girl Hancai who was walking in the crowd let out a light sigh.

With flickering eyes, she looked at a young man in blue who was passing by the Misty Rain Bridge.

The woman Han Cai called Miss also followed her gaze.

But he saw a young man walking slowly under the Yanliu Bridge.

The boy's figure was tall and straight, like bamboo, and his black hair was like satin, tied up with a black belt casually.

At this moment, the boy's back was facing the two of them. If it was an ordinary boy, the girl Hancai might not be able to catch his figure from the crowd.

But Lu Jing's background looked refreshed, with a bit of aura mixed in, which was unforgettable.

The young lady squinted her eyes for a look, her eyes were like the bright first quarter moon in the night sky, the light shone from them, she nodded and said: "It is indeed Mr. Lu."

"What a coincidence, I was able to meet him by the Zhutai River."

Miss Hancai showed a smile on her face, but she didn't want to disturb Lu Jing.

The young lady was also walking safely, and couldn't help but think of that night not long ago, when Lu Jing gave those precious food to those children, and even broke a pot of fine wine in order to distract those Su Weilang...

Su Weilang found that most of the children who entered the central area of ​​Taixuanjing were sent to the north of the city, where fish and dragons were mixed together. These helpless children were afraid that they would become vicious dogs under the hands of big beggars, and even be beaten by big beggars. With disabled hands and feet, he begged along the street.

If it wasn't for Lu Jing's help that day, maybe this lady in white would also help.

But what Lu Jing in front of him did that day was indeed beyond Miss Baiyi's expectations.

"I thought that most of the teenagers in the Taixuanjing Center were people who didn't see the suffering in the world. Even if they had kindness in their hearts, they would probably only contact the government when they found these children..."

It was also because of what this lady did that day when she saw Lu Jing.

She would only help Lu Jing when he was seriously injured, so that Lu Jing would not faint on the street.

"Young master Lu... seems to have entered that kindness hall?"

Just when Miss Baiyi was thinking about it, there was more joy in her cheerful tone: "It's such a coincidence... But why did our neighbor go to Mr. Xu's shantang?"

The white lady's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say much.

Miss Hancai stepped on her feet and looked around, she could vaguely see the entrance of the shantang, there were many people coming in and out, coming and going.

Most of them are luxuriously dressed princes and ladies, and occasionally civilians come and go.

The lady in white frowned.

Miss Hancai was also a little puzzled and said: "But since it is a kind hall, there are many children, old people, and poor people in it, why should it be established in this busy city? There are so many people coming in and out..."

"Just before the king and the king..."

"Hancai!" The lady in white said softly, "Now that we are in Dafu, there are many things that we must not talk about, otherwise even if we hide under the palace of Dafu, there will be many disasters."

Hancai nodded, and whispered, "I don't know...is it getting better..."

The young lady snorted coldly: "The life of a commoner is like a feather. Even his close officials and people who are very close to him will die because of his drunkenness. If he doesn't die... how can it be better there?"

Hancai nodded slightly, without saying a word, the two stood in the distance, looking at the shantang.

At this time, Lu Jing had already entered the hall of kindness.

Stepping into it, Lu Jing also frowned subconsciously.

But it is very lively here, and the furnishings in the shantang are also very particular, there are pavilions, pavilions, and rockery, and a rough look, it seems to have entered a certain attic.

Here, there are many young masters and young ladies who often bring their own servants to form groups and chat with each other.

Most of them had some children beside them, and many of them also had smiles on their faces, looking up at these noble children in reverence.

Just as Lu Jing walked out of the door screen, a servant came up and saluted Lu Jing, "Young master, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

Lu Jing was a little puzzled for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "I heard that this is a shantang...can you still drink tea?"

The young man smiled at Lu Jing and said, "This is Mr. Bai Yan's philanthropic hall, but he is poor. Thanks to the help of many masters and ladies from aristocratic families, as time goes by, there will be more young masters and ladies who come here to take care of these children stand up.

The reason why these poor people can live, but also thanks to them. "

Lu Jing was stunned, and he didn't reject Xu Baiyan's actions. He really supported people, and it didn't hurt to add some means.

only……

Lu Jing looked around and saw many young masters and young ladies chatting happily, while the five, six, seven or eight-year-old children beside them were serving tea and water.

This is nothing at all, in this world, if someone supports you and allows you to live, what is it to serve tea and water?
Because of this, these children always have a lot of gratitude on their faces.

But those young masters and ladies didn't pay much attention to these children.

"My lord, is this your first time here?"

As the boy walked, he pointed to a plaque on the side.

"If you have a kind heart, you can donate a few taels of silver, after all these are poor people who just need noble people like these young masters and young ladies in the good hall to survive.

If there are too many donations, the son's name can be engraved on the plaque far away, so that everyone in Xuandu can know the son's kindness. "

Lu Jing's eyes fell on the plaque.

I saw that there were many names and taboos, which were engraved on them, and those who donated a lot of money... unexpectedly amounted to thousands of taels of silver!

On the plaque, names and surnames are densely packed.

But on the top of the plaque, there are many characters engraved in eye-catching seals.

[As a human being, Xu Baiyan can't bear to see him suffer from hunger, nor can he bear to see him on the street. If you help me today, you are helping me on the right way, and you will be meritorious for all eternity! 】

These few lines of writing penetrate three points into the wood, and they are also plated with gold, shining brightly.

Lu Jing remained calm and asked: "There are so many kind-hearted young masters and young ladies in Xuandu?

With so much silver, I'm afraid it can support thousands of children at the same time. "

The boy admired him from the bottom of his heart: "These poor people have excellent food and clothing, plus they often donate porridge and help people in other states, so at this time the poor people in the shantang are not Not that much."

The boy answered in this way, and saw that Lu Jing was just asking and didn't take out the silver taels, so he said, "Please forgive me, my lord, but the space in the courtyard is limited, and there are many young masters and ladies who have donated silver taels..."

Lu Jing took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the boy, his eyes flashed strangely, and he said, "I just came here for the name, you don't need to entertain me, I will take a stroll and then leave."

The young man saw the ten taels of silver in Lu Jing's hand, with a normal expression, and said with a smile: "Since it is the son's wish, we accept it here, but we don't know the name of the son?"

Lu Jing turned his head to look at the plaque, and asked, "Ten taels of silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to get on the plaque, it's just a wish, so why mention the name?"

The young servant had some apology in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The young master and young lady on the plaque are all very kind people, at least they all donated two or three hundred taels of silver... Please forgive me, young master."

After he finished speaking, he saw someone coming in from a distance, and went to entertain him again.

Lu Jing was walking in this philanthropic hall, but he remembered the letter from Chong'an Palace in his mind.

Princess Chong'an really valued Lu Jing very much, and she tried her best to check Huai Gang and Xu Baiyan.

If we only search Xuandu, I'm afraid we won't find anything.

However, in just a few days, Princess Chong'an searched the Huai Gang deeply, but found one thing...

Every few months, the extremely concealed Huaibang ship docks in the three prefectures of Chong'an. There are not some strange goods on the ship, but... many children!
When these children came to the three prefectures of Chong'an, they would be scattered and sold, and sold to many children from big houses as domestic slaves, or they would become members of the Huai Gang, water ghosts who threw their heads and blood, became locust leaves in the streets, and even more. worse...

What's more, the children who were sold as domestic slaves seemed to be very good at serving the young lady.

As for those water ghosts and locust leaves, they often have numb thinking and slurred speech.

Princess Chong'an said in the letter...

"The boat is hidden, and the local officials have always ignored the Huai gang's boat. There are countless refugees in the world. If they don't know the source of the boat, if they didn't also investigate Xu Baiyan together, even if it is the palace, I am afraid that Xu Baiyan's good hall and Huai gang will not be able to guess. relationship!"

"I sent two Yuanshen monks to investigate two or three of the house slave children. Their memory is vague, but they vaguely remember Yanyu Bridge, and vaguely remember Xu Baiyan."

Lu Jing looked around, a lot of anger welling up in his heart.

"The children in this shantang will change every few months...Xu Baiyan claims that the shantang spends a lot of money to find wealthy families in various Taoist mansions, give them money, let them raise them, and the people in the shantang will often return visits... ..."

"The young masters and ladies in Xuandu donated so much money, no matter for the sake of fame or for the goodness of their hearts.

If he didn't set up these names, and didn't change these children, how could he digest so much silver? "

"Moreover... selling these children can make a lot of money. This shantang itself is a place to cultivate domestic slaves. Those five or six-year-old children have to serve tea and water for these young masters and ladies, so they have to learn Just watch the words and expressions, there must be someone behind the scenes to teach them!"

Jing Lu took a deep breath.

In his mind, Xu Baiyan's natural face fell into his mind.

Lu Jing had to admit that Xu Baiyan's act of kindness, while devoid of conscience, brought him a lot of fame and fortune.

He worshiped a famous teacher because of this!
In Taixuanjing, many people praised him highly, and even a great Confucian recommended him to enter Taichang Temple as Xielu Lang!
Based on this philanthropic hall, Xu Baiyan got to know countless princes and young ladies of great mansions, and accumulated a reputation for himself!
The income of the shantang is extremely rich, and there are only seventy or eighty people raised in the hall at the moment, and the accumulated silver is probably like a mountain!
……

Lu Jing's eyes flickered.

But not far away, a six or seven-year-old boy was leading a four or five-year-old girl.

The girl was crying for no apparent reason.

The six or seven-year-old child was thin, but he hugged the girl with all his strength, patted his short arms lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, Aunt Liu has promised, she won't separate us, just go We went to the house of a good man, and we went together..."

Lu Jing didn't want to look any further, turned around, and walked out of the hall step by step.

At this time, the girl Hancai and the lady in white were walking slowly.

Lu Jing looked gloomy.

Miss Hancai smiled and said, "Mr. Lu? It's such a coincidence that I can meet you here?"

Taking Lu Jingxiu as his level, his expression was a little dazed at this moment, he kept walking with his head down, and only woke up when he heard Miss Hancai's voice, and raised his head.

But I saw girl Hancai following behind a woman in white.

The two were looking at him.

"Miss Hancai."

Lu Jing nodded slowly, looked at the woman, and saluted, "I also thank you for saving my life."

The woman in white glanced at Lu Jing, then looked at the shantang, and asked, "Mr. Lu...do you often go in and out of this shantang?"

Lu Jing said: "I just happened to meet, so I came to take a look."

The woman in white asked again: "Young master, what do you think of this kind hall?"

Although she saved Lu Jing, Lu Jing didn't make it clear, but instead asked: "I don't know why Miss Hancai and Miss come here?"

Miss Hancai replied: "We took in a few homeless children, but due to many things, we couldn't support them for a lifetime. A few days ago, I heard about Mr. Xu's philanthropic hall on the street, so I wanted to come here to see it." Take a look, if this good hall really has so many benefits, the young lady and I can feel at ease if we send those children here."

Lu Jing suddenly remembered the few times before in Kongshan Lane, when he saw girl Hancai, she always carried two huge food boxes in her hands.

Thinking about it now, the function of the food box probably lies in this.

Lu Jing glanced at Miss Hancai, didn't say much, just shook his head.

The girl Hancai was stunned.

The lady in white looked coldly over Lu Jing's body and looked at Shantang behind her.

She just said, "Hancai, wait for me here."

The lady in white walked into the philanthropic hall, but only a few dozen breaths passed.

The woman in white had turned back, shook her head and said: "It's exactly the same as there. Most of these young masters and ladies are not out of kindness in their hearts, but just pretending to want to bear the name of kindness. Those five or six-year-old children are like slaves." Serve them carefully...to be able to raise these children like slaves, maybe this kind house is not so good."

Miss Hancai opened her mouth, she remembered that Xu Baiyan who was standing on the boat just now was as bright as a bright moon, and she was full of fresh air.

But then, Miss Hancai remembered that when her young lady was in Qi State, she escaped from the palace in the fire. Before she escaped from Qi State, she also entered the mansion of the scholar-bureaucrat who did evil things in the name of goodness, killing evil spirits and beheading human demons!

She has seen those nasty and disgusting things, so she is naturally more sensitive.

Lu Jing was also a little surprised.

He walked the street with the two of them.

Around the Yanyu Bridge, there are still blooming flowers and a sea of ​​people.

On the river, Xu Baiyan was playing the piano with his head bowed. A gust of breeze blew by, making his hair flutter, and he was extremely handsome.

On both sides of the Zhutai River, many people looked at Xu Baiyan who was so outstanding, and thought that there was no more strange man in the world than this.

Even the ladies of the big mansions were full of admiration in their eyes.

In their hearts, the still young Xu Baiyan is like fireworks in the daytime, and soon after, he will rise to the sky like fireworks, and then burst into bright light.

The scorching sun can't hide its brilliance.

But Lu Jing, who didn't say a word, didn't look at Xu Baiyan, but turned around and looked at Shantang from afar.

The shantang is gorgeously built, with blue bricks and green tiles, even compared with the restaurants facing the street...

However, when a gust of wind blew past, Lu Jing felt a little chilly, as if the shantang was a... haunted area where evil spirits gathered.

Seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck is flickering, and information keeps pouring in.

Lu Jing thought to himself: "It must be smashed."
